Madeleine, hi - I just dropped back this morning to the 12.5. Slept lousy, weird dreams, agitated & feeling angry, agitated. In the middle of the night I took .5 Xanax, slept for awhile, but it didn't do the trick. Also I am also so physically addicted to Clonazepam that I don't want the same thing to happen with X. So yeah, not so hopeful. I do know what you mean, true for me also - I have been able, sometimes, to move past that place, and get something accomplshed - or at least I start it. But there were times, even recently before Lamictal that I got lots done - I just seem to cycle so fast & more down than up - so I don't want to give credit to Lam yet. I will just keep going for a bit, make the decision later about stopping completely. I thought I would taper off at the same pace that I moved up. I haven't been diagnosed with Bi II, it just made sense to me, and the not so knowledgeable doc at the clinic went along with giving this a try. The mvp thing - yes it is interesting! Yes drink lots of water, but it's not an elixer - I carry a bottle with me everywhere - always! Also I would like to know how you do with a beta blocker if you start - for me, beta blocker, clonazepam = even more tired. Take care M, TH
